Chapter 280 Ignorance is Fearless
"Yes, yes, what the prince said makes sense. The prince has been the same all these years, and he has become even worse after having the princess."
As Ning Wang's confidant, Mao Zhang certainly understood his thoughts and his temper even better.
It's definitely not going to work if you try to argue with him.
If you want to convince him to believe what you say, you have to take a roundabout way.
"Hmph, don't think that he can secure his position as the crown prince just by helping his father review memorials in the study room every day. Without money, what can he use to compete with me?"
Prince Ning was in his study with his confidants, and most of the time he would not hide his true thoughts.
Only those who follow him will work for him wholeheartedly if they know his ambitions.
Only if his ambition is big enough can he make those who follow him loyal to him.
"Your Highness is right. It is my brain that is useless."
Mao Zhang was soon led by Prince Ning.
He even felt a little guilty, thinking that by thinking of Chu Chengyi as so powerful, he was boosting other people's ambitions and destroying his own prestige.
If the Zhang family's treasure is found by their prince, it will subvert the entire Changxing Continent.
By that time, what will the position of crown prince mean?
Even his own prince might not be interested in the throne of Sheng'an Kingdom.
"Hu Liang, Mao Zhang, you two must work together to find the whereabouts of those four people as soon as possible. This matter must not go wrong."
Prince Ning didn't believe that Chu Chengyi would arrest his people.
Apart from attending court every day and doing unprofitable work in the Ministry of Rites, even the shop under the name of Prince Ning's Mansion was run by Princess Ning.
Why would Chu Chengyi doubt him?
As for Matthew Li, he believed that with Princess Ning and the two legitimate sons around, Matthew Li would never reveal any information related to him.
As long as the matter of Matthew Li is settled, no one will know what he has done except those few confidants.
This makes him more down-to-earth.
"yes."
"yes."
Mao Zhang and Hu Liang accepted the order and withdrew.
Two aides, Mr. Feng and Mr. Yu, were still accompanying Prince Ning.
The few of them discussed the disappearance of the four guards.
The final result of the discussion was that it was still those gangsters who were dissatisfied with their failure to pay the treasure hunt money on time, and arrested the four people as a show of intimidation.
Because they all agreed that Matthew Li would not be involved in Prince Ning's Palace.
As long as he doesn't give out the Ning Prince's Mansion, what the Ning Prince's Mansion does will remain unknown to everyone.
At the Wuwei General's Mansion, which is across the street from Prince Ning's Mansion, Wang Zhenyue is interrogating a prisoner in the dungeon of the mansion.
There was no severe punishment, but the prisoners confessed all the secrets they knew.
Moreover, after confessing, the prisoners strangely turned into foolish and stupid people.
If Prince Ning or Hu Liang were here, they would definitely recognize at a glance that the criminals here are the four guards who were missing from Prince Ning's mansion.
"Old General, what should we do next?"
Wang Ming was a loyal follower of Wang Zhenyue and was his personal guard when he was on the battlefield.
I followed him for decades and suffered numerous injuries, but luckily I was lucky enough to be able to go back to Beijing with him to retire.
He knew everything about Wang Zhenyue, including the deaths of Wang Huaiduan and Chu Chengzhao.
Of course, Wang Zhenyue did not tell anyone about the affair between Wang Huaiduan and the Queen.
Therefore, after Wang Zhenyue made up his mind to die, Wang Ming just thought that he had accidentally killed Chu Chengzhao and felt guilty towards Emperor Yongping.
Wang Zhenyue did not intend to explain this misunderstanding.
Anyway, he doesn't want to live anymore, and the reason is not important at all.
"Lock these people in the dungeon and don't let them show up until the matter is resolved."
Wang Zhenyue looked at the confessions of several people and felt a little complicated.
His idea of using this incident to incur the wrath of Emperor Yongping would probably not come true for the time being.
He really underestimated Prince Ning.
The ignorant are fearless, and the one who says this is King Ning.
"Don't worry, old general. I know what's going on."
When Wang Ming saw that Wang Zhenyue had no intention of letting these people go, he guessed what he was thinking.
I felt relieved at heart.
As long as his old general doesn't seek death, he will do his job well no matter how hard it is.
Wang Zhenyue took the confession back to the study and sat there for several hours.
Prince Ning actually issued the mission through the secret building?
What kind of power is this secret building?
Although the treasure hunt did not directly involve the royal family, if Prince Ning really found the treasure, it would no longer involve the royal family of a country.
Emperor Yongping was unaware of Wang Zhenyue's worries.
Apart from reviewing memorials that day, he was wondering what his granddaughter was doing.
I have lived for more than fifty years, and the only treasure I have had with me since birth is my granddaughter.
I really feel uncomfortable without her.
Chu Qinshu, who was leisurely strolling on the waves at the Chiling Kingdom's Coast Guard station, suddenly sneezed several times in succession.
If it weren't for the small gourd's invisibility talisman which had the ability to conceal sound, it would have been discovered.
"Shu'er, have you caught a cold from the sea breeze?"
Chu Chengyi looked at his daughter whose face was covered with snot after a few sneezes. He did not feel disgusted, but only worried.
If he had known, he should not have let her play at the beach.
Although he himself was curious about the sea, the price he paid to make his daughter sick was indeed a high one.
"Oh."
[Daddy, quickly wipe Shuer's nose. Shuer doesn't have a cold. It must be that the Emperor misses Shuer.]
Chu Qinshu had a big snot bubble on her face and felt a little embarrassed.
She thought that if her father didn't wipe her nose again, she would rub his face.
How can you watch your own child sneeze and just ask the reason without wiping the child’s nose?
Besides, she can't explain the reason clearly if you ask her.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Daddy will wipe it for you right away."
Chu Chengyi was no longer worried, but instead couldn't help wanting to laugh.
This was the first time he saw his daughter like this.
Real, cute, and heartbreaking.
After cleaning up Chu Qinshu, the father and daughter, together with the White Tiger King, continued to stroll around the residence.
They left the capital and went directly to the coastal defense base of the Red Spirit Kingdom.
Although the Red Spirit's sea area is not close to the Yansha Kingdom, if their military supplies and weapons are stolen, the only country that can be suspected is the Yansha Kingdom.
Because Yansha Kingdom is good at navy.
Their arsenals and armories were built on the cliffs by the sea.
The only people who can climb up the cliff from the sea are Yansha Kingdom and no one else.
As soon as Chu Qinshu arrived at the beach, she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, commanding the White Tiger King to chase the sea on the beach.
Of course, there are no seafood products as imagined on the local beaches.
However, for Chu Qinshu, who had been locked up in the palace for half a year, it was also fresh to listen to the waves and feel the sea breeze.
"Oh."
【Daddy, there is a boat.】
This was the first time Chu Qinshu had seen a ship of this era, so she couldn't help feeling a little curious.
"Well, this is the warship of the Red Spirit Nation."
"Oh."
【Warship?】
Chu Qinshu looked at the rows of wooden boats swaying in the wind and quickly searched her mind for their combat effectiveness.
"Shu'er, can you accept the warship?"
